SSPA Feed Mount Offset Antenna Installation Instructions
1.
Remove the protective cover from the antenna (OMT) and SSPA (if installed).
CAUTION
After removing the protective cover(s), ensure that no foreign
material or moisture enters the antenna waveguide or SSPA.
2.
Install the appropriate gasket on the SSPA isolator.
a) If only one of the mounting surfaces has a groove, use the thin gasket
b) If both mounting surfaces have grooves, then use the thick gasket.
3.
Position the SSPA (rounded fins down) on the antenna OMT and fasten using
the
#6 hardware from KT/2820 (8 each socket head screws, flat, split washers and
nuts).
